Supporting local families has always been at the heart of what I do.

In November 2022, I contacted Forget Me Not Children's Hospice to offer my memory-making services after they had supported my friends who sadly lost their little boy far too soon. While this has been an emotional journey, it has also been one of the greatest honours and privileges of my work.

Everything I do in support of Forget Me Not Children's Hospice is in memory of you, Jake Booth.

The Hearts of Love Project was created to provide comfort and connection to families during some of life's most difficult moments. Families can decorate these special hearts during times of illness or following the loss of a loved one, creating a meaningful keepsake and lasting memory.

The hearts are used within Forever Boxes at Halifax and Huddersfield Hospitals, as well as by local palliative care teams, Macmillan nurses, Overgate Hospice, and Forget Me Not Children's Hospice.

The Hearts of Love Project would not be possible without the incredible support of John Winter Dental Suppliers, who have always supported my ideas.

They generously donate all of the plaster used to create the Hearts of Love and the castings created for families at Forget Me Not Children's Hospice.

I am equally grateful to our small team of dedicated volunteers, whose kindness, compassion, and commitment help create each heart with care and love. Their support helps ensure these special keepsakes reach the families who need them most.

The project is also supported by our wonderful local community, who kindly donate creative materials such as pens and craft supplies, helping families personalise their hearts and make them truly their own.

If you would like to support the Hearts of Love Project, whether by helping create hearts or donating materials, I would love to hear from you. Every contribution helps us reach more families and continue providing these special keepsakes throughout our community
